Thank you for visiting my talk and/or booth at the Yoga Expo and for raising your hand in an expression of your interest to enter the world of natural eye care. Below is the promised gift to get you started.
At the start of any vision development process stands the understanding of what relaxed eyes, eye muscles and the visual nervous system feel like. It puts them in a state in which they can absorb new learning. It also gives the student (you) awareness of what effortless seeing should feel like.
The technique that delivers on this purpose like magic is called Palming. So, I invite you to quickly learn what palming is, then follow the instructions in the audio.
PALMING
Palming is a key relaxation practice
Remove your eyeglasses
Sit straight at a table with your elbows supported by a couple of firm pillows (or yoga blocks), do not lean over
Rub the palms of your hands to create warmth, then put your hands together in the form of a shallow scoop
Close your eyes and place your hands over your eyes, overlapping your fingers, touching your face and forehead, but not touching your eyes
Relax. Breathe freely
If your mind shows you pictures, look at them with curiosity. Otherwise simply enjoy the darkness, as the black color brings the deepest level of rest to the eyes.
When finished, slowly remove your hands, then blink a few times to adjust back to the light
Always make sure your elbows are supported, so that your shoulders stay relaxed and there is no pressure put on your face.
